The Rise of the Empire

Chapter 397: Beasts of Bavaria I

"This is the No. 2 plan of your breakthrough tank?" When the prince came to the test site, the first thing that caught his attention was the tank that looked like the No. 3 assault gun of later generations. At the end of the plan, the prince once drew three views of several chariots with a painter called a stick figure. The designer is required to design the shape of the chariot as far as possible according to the requirements on the three views. \u003c/p\u003e These sketches are the t34, ft17 Renault, and the No. 3 assault gun of the later Soviet Union. Of course, these things are only similar in appearance, but the actual performance is of course inferior. Not to mention the v2 aluminum alloy engine of the t34, even the 300-horsepower gasoline engine used by the No. 3 assault gun, the prince can't make it! At the beginning of World War 1, a 150-horsepower diesel engine would be very popular! No way, the technical foundation is too poor. \u003c/p\u003eThe No. 2 plan of the Assault Tank was designed with reference to the shape of the three-outlets in history, but the front armored division is inclined. And the gearbox and engine are rear mounted together. The shape is even lower. The frontal armor is fixed with rivets. Looking closer, it gives people a feeling of steamed steel. \u003c/p\u003eThe tank next to it is "supposedly" designed with reference to the shape of the t34. But it is obviously a circle smaller than the t34. The only similar thing is probably the inclined armor, the rear drive shaft and the layout of the engine compartment, and a small turret on top of it. This is the turreted tank scheme with a 50mm gun, which is the No. 1 scheme of the breakthrough tank. \u003c/p\u003eA little farther away from these two tanks is the assault tank solution. Based on the principles of reliability, durability, and cheapness, the prince did not put forward too high requirements, as long as he can pack the Renault tank properly. Therefore, the two plans of the assault tank almost use the same site. The only difference is that the weapons are changed. One tank has two machine guns, and the other tank has a 37mm artillery and a machine gun. \u003c/p\u003e "Your Highness, would you like to take a rest first?" Major General Schmidt walked up and whispered in the prince's ear. And pointed to the breakthrough tank in the distance with his hand, and then waved his hand gently. \u003c/p\u003e"Damn it, haven't you cleaned it up yet?" The prince was depressed, and then looked at Prince Leopold, who was commenting on these new guys not far away. In the Bavarian army, the largest It's still the prince. Whether these expensive steel behemoths can enter the Bavarian Legion depends on the prince's attitude! \u003c/p\u003e "Let those small bean tanks run a few laps first, and then hit fixed targets or something." The prince said to Schmidt. \u003c/p\u003e"No problem, these little guys are much easier to serve than those breakthrough tanks." Schmidt nodded and went to arrange, while the prince accompanied Prince Leopold to the viewing stand. At the same time, Maybach, the chief designer of the breakthrough tank, led the technicians to conduct the final inspection of the two tanks together with the tank crew. \u003c/p\u003e"Remember, when our chariot turns, we must pay attention to adjusting the speed of the tracks on both sides, not too fast, the movement must be smooth, and use low gear when climbing, otherwise a small slope may make the Our tank is turned off, and if it is turned off, you have to restart the tank yourself."\u003c/p\u003e"It is best to wear a gas mask when driving. It may burn your face. By the way, there is also the exhaust gas from the engine."\u003c/p\u003e "When the chariot is moving, you must lock the artillery, otherwise, the moving tail of the gun may not only smash the Injure you, and even cause damage to the gun mount." Maybach kept telling the crew what to pay attention to during the test, so as to prevent the chain from falling off on the battlefield. \u003c/p\u003e"OK,

Boss, what you say is what you say, brothers, get ready to enter the boiler! "The driver on the opposite side, Mike, couldn't bear it for a long time. Not only did he feel that the Maybach was wordy, but more importantly, he was very dissatisfied with the job in front of him. Except for the salary, other things can be used in hell. To describe it!\u003c/p\u003e Mike can still recall the scene when he and his brother first played with this big guy. He and three other crew members inserted a huge crankshaft into the shaker hole of the engine at the back of the tank, For him who used to drive a tractor, he is completely familiar with it. Yes, you read that right. This is a historically significant thing that can be called a major invention in the history of human warfare. The starting method is the same as that of a tractor, even the engine is out of the body The tractor.\u003c/p\u003eBut it’s nothing. Four strong Germanic men worked together to start this big guy easily. It started. Then Mike and his comrades got in decisively, and fifteen minutes later, Mike and two other people lifted a fainted comrade out of the tank...\u003c/p\u003e"This is What kind of shit? You also call him a chariot? I think he is an oven! The taste is a hundred times stronger in the oven than in the oven! This is a boiler! "Mike yelled, and kicked the car body fiercely to vent his anger!\u003c/p\u003e As soon as Mike entered the car body, he felt a hot air rushing towards his face, and he was hanging beside the car body The thermometer shows that the temperature here has exceeded 50 degrees! And there is an upward trend! The engine at the rear of the car body is still emitting heat, making Mike feel like bread in an oven!\u003c/p\u003eOf course , if it is pure temperature, it can be tolerated, but I think the ventilation of the tank itself is not good, the disgusting smell of lubricating oil and engine oil at high temperature, and the dust produced by insufficient combustion make the air in the combat compartment quite dirty , and if you fire another cannon at this time, it will be even more refreshing. After opening the breech bolt and exiting the shell case, a pungent temperature after burning the gun will completely kill your sense of smell and the air in the air. The dust, carbon monoxide and other toxic substances irritate your already weak respiratory system.\u003c/p\u003eSo, in less than half an hour, a comrade-in-arms fell beside the breech of the gun. Then, the surprised Mike The others immediately pulled him out, and Maybach and others on the side immediately came up with oxygen cylinders for first aid.\u003c/p\u003e "You seem to be very skilled. Mike looked at the busy staff and said in surprise.\u003c/p\u003e "This is not the first time. "Maybach is very bachelor, stretched out his hand and shook it." At least 5 times! "\u003c/p\u003e "I quit! "If it wasn't for the people next to him to stop him, the furious Mike would have to give this bad old man a good look.\u003c/p\u003eThe second is more ~~~, please subscribe\u003c/a\u003e~~~!\u003c /p\u003e\u003c/div\u003e
